Joi Savery

The clickbait headline that I love to hate because, of course, I really need to scroll through 20 different slides to know that mostly nothing happened  However, in the past several weeks, I have indeed immersed (and I use that term loosely) myself in learning more about the Health at Every Size Movement.

I’m a southern girl and… Continue reading Let’s Get Reacquainted

SMARTer Goal-Setting for the Win!

Joi Savery

When I was a kid, I had a vision. I could see the me of the future. I would be thinner, more outgoing, involved in fun activities, and radiating happiness.

Joi Savery

For the sake of full disclosure I'm going to go ahead and put it out there, (if I haven't already previously) I enjoy going to the gym. The poor lighting, the lines of weights stacked neatly against the walls, and the fresh energy from other humans on the same mission pushes me to reach a… Continue reading Must Haves for Your Home Gym
